The Young And The Restless Spoilers Week Of August 31: Rehab Bond, Matt & Patty’s MissionThe Young and the Restless spoilers for the week of August 31 suggest some drama. We can expect there to be a bond between two characters in rehab.

Meanwhile, Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) and Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk) share another storyline together. Keep reading to find out what is coming up in the CBS soap opera.

Key Takeaways

  • Matt and Patty reunite in the psych ward and could plot a daring escape together.
  • Nick’s growing bond with Marie in rehab raises questions about her mysterious motives.
  • Victoria probes Claire about whether she still has feelings for Kyle.
  • Matt’s treatment at Victor’s hands could push him straight back toward his villainous ways.

Rehab Bond

In rehab, Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) will focus on his recovery. However, Nick isn’t just focused on himself but Marie Kirkland (Jade Harlow) as well. While it’s all nice and good that Nick wants to help his bed buddy, he needs to be careful.

The girl showed up out of nowhere, busted into Nick’s hotel room, then they had drug-fueled passion.

That is very clearly a set-up and now she’s in the exact same rehab as him? In any case, Nick will try to play hero to her, like he does with every woman in his life.

Matt Clark’s Location

Over with Matt, he will get stashed in the psych ward with Patty. After Victor gets rid of the pest, Matt and Patty will connect.

It seems like Patty and Matt will unite to escape, but this could reignite their former alliance. Well, it was almost an alliance I guess. 

In any case, Patty will be bad news for Matt. The lady is crazy as they come, and could lead Matt down back to the dark side.

What does everyone expect when Victor keeps going after the guy?! At some point, the prey is going to bite back.

Matt could save the entire Newman family ten times over, but Victor would still demonize him. Trust me, I know exactly how Matt feels. 

So, of course, this is going to cause him to go back to being a villain. People can only take so much from manipulative monsters. By monster, I mean Victor, not Matt. Things are never quite like they seem, are they? 

What Else to Expect

The Young and the Restless spoilers for the week of August 31 reveal that we will also see what happens when Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) tries to get information from Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin).

The mother will try to figure out if Claire is still into Kyle or not. Honestly, Victoria is Claire’s mother, not her college roommate. Whatever makes it easier for Victoria to excuse her sick behavior, so stay tuned.
